Remote

This dialog can be used to select a remote computer running NTMail and allow the user to remotely configure the NTMail servers on that machine.

The CPL will only connect to the remote machine if the software version on that machine matches that of the CPL.

If the CPL applet is connected to a remote machine, files cannot be written or deleted so some functionality is lost.
